Linedata Icon

The volume, frequency and complexity of changes that Asset Management back offices of all types have to deal with has been steadily increasing. Today the volume of change is greater and the pace faster than ever, with more regulation, new fund types, different securities and the drive for efficiency and cost saving.

Only a system offering rich functionality, automation and able to adapt to change within the installed version can meet these challenges.

Clients can run more of their business on Linedata Icon, eliminating spreadsheets and other systems, as well as allowing the volume of business handled to be increased without necessarily expanding the number of staff to do it. Either deployed in-house or hosted, Linedata Icon is a cost-effective solution for investment administration/fund accounting.
